  11. I have redheaded arab mare named Bella Dancer who is *lame*. She was diagnosed with OCD in both stifles after being pulled at mile 45 on a 50 mile ride-- we then underwent stifle debridement, recovery, rehab, and reconditioning. She is still lame on that left hind... AAEP scale 1.5/5 straightaway and circle to the left with left on the inside and 2/5 in a circle with the left on the outside. I condition her at the canter and gallop more than the trot... BUT! My vet says * Bella will tell you when she is ready to slow down* and you know what folks? This girly has a LOTTA go in her still She does CMO, Trail rides, etc. and has heart rate recoveries to die for as well as being one of THE MOST forward, hard working horse I have ever riddde. She loves to go.... so you know what? WE GO.

  21. Doin our Dressage HW-- it is not as pretty as when we do it with Missy my instructor at a lesson, wonder what is different? is my indoor arena just too small? I get so confined feeling, nowhere to go... maybe I need to trailer somewhere else to ride in a bigger arena and try that...?
